Apple and blackberry Crumble Recipe:

This recipe combines the tart flavours of berries with the sweetness of apples. Topped off with fresh dairy cream, this dessert is sure to please the ravenous hordes.

Fruit crumbles have been cooked in England and America under the guise of ‘crumbles’, ‘cobblers’, ‘crisps’, ‘pandowdys’, ‘Brown Bettys’ and ‘buckles’ for many years. Although varying slightly, all seem to combine a deep-dish preparation of seasonal fruit topped with buttered or toasted crumbs of oats, flour, biscuits or breakfast cereals. apple and blackberry crumble recipe

Some sources state that the fruit crumble originated during World War 2 in England, when the ingredients for a complete pie crust were found to be too expensive, although American food writers claim their version, the ‘crisp’, developed as early as the 1920s.

Tarsus - Ancient Tarsus in Asia Minor -Tarsus, Mersin, Turkey

Tarsus-Ancient Tarsus in Asia Minor Site of one of the oldest Middle East settlements, Tarsus played a prominent role in the histories of competing Near East and Mediterranean empires. Often overlooked in ancient history, the strategic city Tarsus, located in southern Asia Minor, may have been one of the first great “university towns.” Often associated with its “favorite son” Paul, the city was associated with a fair crop of ancient world notables.

King Assurbanipal is given
